Lettuce Grow
A Healthy Body
Lettuce
We grow Crunchy Leaf Lettuce, Rainbow Char, and Butter Lettuce
Roughly 6-8 weeks later, the crops are ready to be harvested. Lettuce is cut and cleaned to be given out to families enrolled. Small Steps Daycare promotes healthy eating and sustainability by teaching/showing children how to grow fresh vegetables.
Dried Herbs
We grow Thyme, Green Bunching Onion, and Cilantro
We harvest our fresh herbs, dry them, and give packets the families enrolled.
Cherry Tomatoes
Served in salads and as a snack
Our mini Cherry Tomatoes are harvest and served directly to the children in with our fresh lettuce
From Garden to Plate
All of our produce is grown indoors without chemicals
Small Steps Daycare's indoor Hydroponic System, called Lettuce Grow, enables us to grow lettuce and herbs year-round. No commercial products are sprayed on the indoor crops. Water and plant food are added to the water reservoir, the LED lights are on timers, and the area is curtained off with a green heavy-duty tarp.
